> However unimportant you may consider Simone Biles, the fact still remains that she's accomplished far more than you likely ever have or will. So apply your own rubric and find a bit of humility
I love your take. It makes me happy to find the rare soul on HN who gets it.
Accomplishment is more than accomplishing something. Go to PubMed and you will find a lot more role models to follow and heroes to admire than all the circus clowns cheered in the MSM. A scientist may not get all the fame and cheering a clown gets, but they do accomplish a lot more in the grand scheme of things.
